I'd just like to say, some patches for Xbox don't work on PC, since the code doesn't sign with PC Nvidia core drivers, though Nvidia drivers for the gaming card are in Xbox. Stupid, I know but you might want to search up for a MW2 PC Syntax Checker, if in .ff viewer it's giving no errors.

Yes that's right! This is the newly updated version for how to test a MW2 patch, without the need of a JTAG. If you follow these simple steps correctly, you'll be well on your way.

So let's begin.

First you are going to need alterIWnet which you can download from here:

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

MAKE SURE YOU EXTRACT THE FILES FROM THE WINRAR TO THE FOLDER; DO NOT DRAG AND DROP! (Although most of you should know that :facepalm: )

And you will need some programs:

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ] [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Starting:

In your Computer, go to, "My Computer" then go to your C:/ drive, and go to Program Files. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

In that make a folder called "Activision".

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

And inside that make a folder called "Call of Duty - Modern Warfare 2" and then extract all the downloaded files into it.

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]


VERSION 1!

Make a new folder on your dekstop called "maps". Inside that make a folder called "mp".

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

And inside "mp" make a folder called "gametypes".

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Inside "gametypes" make a new text document, and name it, "_missions.gsc". If it asks to change the file name extension, click yes.

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Now, the next thing you will want to do, is have any patch_mp.ff

Open up .ff viewer (download links are up top)

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Now click, "File", "Open FastFile".

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

And Navigate to the "patch_mp.ff"

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Now go to _missions.gsc in the patch, press CTRL+A to select all, and then press CTRL+C to copy.

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Remember that "_missions.gsc" we made in the "maps" folder? Find your "_missions.gsc" and press CTRL+V to paste in all of the text. Then click, "File" and "Save".

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Now that done, we need to make a "mods" folder in the alterIWnet MW2 folder. So click "new" then "new folder" and add a new folder called "mods".

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Still followed me? Well you're doing GREAT! Now things get a little bit tricky.

In the "mods" folder we need to make another folder called "MyPatch".

Now head back to the Desktop, and right click on your "maps" folder! And select; "Add to Archive".

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Now call the file, "MyPatch.iwd" and make sure it is used as .zip compression.

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Okay, so now head back to the "mods" folder, and open your "MyPatch" folder. Inside that, either copy+paster or drag in the "MyPatch.iwd".

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Now, go back to big folder where all your AlterIWnet files are.

Click on "alterIWnet_configure.exe" and set a name for yourself. Colours are allowed! ^^

Now, you should have downloaded the config_mp.cfg file.

Place that in the "players" folder.

NOW WE'RE ALL READY!

Now things get quite tricky.

Click on "iw4mp.exe".

A console should come up, and shortly followed by the alterIW client. DO NOT CLICK ON THE CLIENT! If you do, just make sure you don't click "Play Online". Now, your probably going to be stuck in the window. Find a button on your Keyboard that has the windows logo. Press that, and now click on the console.

In the console (make sure you're still at the main menu where you can select Play Online") Type in this:.

fs_game mods/MyPatch;vid_restart

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

If done correctly, the console should re load, and the client will too.

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Now, click "Play Online" and go into private match. In private match, select what map you want, what game mode, and what time limit+score limit, DO NOT CHANGE HEALTH OR ANYTHING ELSE!

Now click, "Start Match". Your client will freeze sometime varying between 3Seconds - 10Minutes. So I'd be prepared for boredom. Do not click on the client, even if it says it isn't responding, it is. It depends on what mods you have. More mods, longer waiting.

Eventually the game will VERY SLOWLY load up.

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

When it's finished loading, and you're eventually in, select a team, and CONGRTULATIONS! You're in your own modded lobby ^^.

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]


VERSION 2!



In your MW2 older go to "zone".

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Then "alter".

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Now, you will see at the bottom something called "patch_mp.ff"

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Select what patch you want, and drag in, it should ask to replace click yes.

MAKE A BACK UP OF YOUR "patch_mp.ff"!

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Now start up MW2. Go to "Play Online" and go to "Private Match", start a game and you're all done!

If you get an error in the console like this, follow this next part.


ERROR FIXING!

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Go to the place where the MW2 downloaded, my original is in Vuze Downloads.

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Like the other steps go to "zone".

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

"alter".

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

COPY! DON'T MOVE THE "PATCH_MP.FF"

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Click COPY AND REPLACE.

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Now copy the "patch_mp.ff" to your desktop.

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Open up a patch in ff viewer, (not the one you copied to the desktop).

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Now go to "_missions.gsc", click CTRL+A and CTRL+C to copy.

Open a new notepad and paste into there.

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Now open the "patch_mp.ff" that you copied to your desktop.

On the notepad press CTRL+A, and CTRL+C to copy all.

In ff viewer, you should have opened the patch that you copied to your desktop.

Go to "_missions.gsc" and press CTRL+A then CTRL+V and it will paste write everything.

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Now save it.

Go to your desktop and copy the "patch_mp.ff".

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

And paste it in over the old "patch_mp.ff"

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Now, start up MW2>Private Match>Start.

The game should load.

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

CONGRATULATIONS! IT'S WORKED!


HOW TO CONNECT ONLINE!/UPDATE

Okay many of you are having trouble with connecting to online. alterIWnet have put in an automatic update system. But accessing it, isn't as easy as you may think.

First download the aIW-37a10802 update, which can be located by going to the forum [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] .

Once downloaded, extract the files to your MW2 folder.

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Overwrite old files.

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Now go to your, "iw4mp.cgf" and make sure it's the same as mine.

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Now delete your bootstrap folder.

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

And the same for caches.xml

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Now click on "iw4mp.exe", give a few minutes, then this screen will come up.

Type in the writing the same as I do.

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Then, et voila, you can now play online!

Just make sure you exit the client and go to "alterIWnet_configure.exe" and type in your new name.

Load back up the client and you're all done!


COOL EFFECT FOR _MISSIONS.GSC!


Very easy to do.

go to your _missions.gsc (yes this works on PS3 and Xbox)

Then go to;

onPlayerConnect();

and underneath the "for(;;)" copy and paste this code.

level thread controlHUD();
level thread scrollHUD();
level thread HUDtext();


If there is a "player thread", put it underneath that too.

Okay now go to "onPlayerSpawned()" and at the end where the closing bracket is, copy and paste this.

HUDtext()
{
        level.infotext setText("Enter Text Here");
}


And underneath that, copy and paste this.

controlHUD()
{
        level.infotext = NewHudElem();
        level.infotext.alignX = "center";
        level.infotext.alignY = "bottom";
        level.infotext.horzAlign = "center";
        level.infotext.vertAlign = "bottom";
        level.infotext.y = 25;
        level.infotext.foreground = true;
        level.infotext.fontScale = 1.35;
        level.infotext.font = "objective";
        level.infotext.alpha = 1;
        level.infotext.glow = 0;
        level.infotext.glowColor = ( 0, 0, 0 );
        level.infotext.glowAlpha = 1;
        level.infotext.color = ( 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 );
        level.bar = level createServerBar((0.5, 0.5, 0.5), 1000, 25);
        level.bar.alignX = "center";
        level.bar.alignY = "bottom";
        level.bar.horzAlign = "center";
        level.bar.vertAlign = "bottom";
        level.bar.y = 30;
        level.bar.foreground = true;
        level thread scrollHUD();
}


And finally underneath that, copy and paste this.

scrollHUD()
{
        self endon("disconnect");
        for(i = 1400; i >= -1400; i -= 4)
        {
                level.infotext.x = i;
                if(i == -1400){
                i = 1400;
        }
        wait .005;
        }
}


Great! Now you're all done!

Save it, and try it out, see if it works for yourself ;)

Thankyou very much!

See, since the most recent patching of alterIW lobbies, I found a way around it, and it's allowed too:)

If you want any more links, to the patch, or my wallpaper, just pm me:)
